Why a Photographer Can Be the Most Dangerous Person on Earth

A photographer needs nothing from the external world. You’re completely immersed in your own world that you create from nothing. You can be in a state of wonder and awe, in a childlike spirit of play throughout the entirety of your day, without depending on external validation, novel sensation, or the entertainment of other people. You’re dangerous because you can entertain yourself and need nothing from anybody or anything. You just need light, sight, and a camera in hand.
